Synopsis for "The Rainbow Superman"
Lois Lane discovers that whenever she opens her locket, energy from within causes Superman to glow in the varying colors of the rainbow. The locket contains a small fragment of a meteor that Superman recently destroyed on one of his adventures. Once Lois closes the locket however, Superman returns to normal.
That evening, Clark Kent and Lois have dinner together. Clark grows nervous as Lois begins fondling her locket. He knows that if she were to open it, the meteor energy would cause him to glow like a rainbow again, thus exposing his secret identity.
To further protect his secret identity, Superman secretly sprays the Daily Planet office with a special chemical, which causes everything to glow like a rainbow whenever Lois opens her locket. Since everyone is experiencing this bizarre manifestation, Clark's secret identity is secure. As the sun goes down, the effects of the meteor rock wear off and Lois' locket (as well as Superman) returns to normal.

The small town of Hadley boasts their very own adventurer, the noble hero known as Robin Hood – a mysterious man who robs from the rich and gives to the poor. Lois Lane investigates the rumors of this Robin Hood character and travels to the town of Hadley.
While working on the story, Lois meets a man named Mark Benton. Mark Benton bears a strong resemblance to Clark Kent, and Lois finds herself suddenly attracted to him. Like Clark, Mark maintains a duel identity. Lois discovers a domino mask in Mark's pocket and realizes that he is the one perpetuating the Robin Hood rumors. Mark opens up to Lois and reveals that his real name is Ronald Van Horton. As a soft-hearted millionaire, Ronald uses his vast wealth to finance his Robin Hood crusade.

Superbaby returns to the present era and comes under the care of Lois Lane. Lois attempts to take care of the toddler, but Superbaby's playfulness causes Lois no end of frustration.
